It is my birthday tomorrow, maybe the GB will be tomorrow and by the powers of the birthday gods I will get a slot.

[razor_blade]

I'm not sure if I missed it somewhere, but would you consider running a wrist-rest for it Jacky? I am impartial if it's poly-carbonate, wood, or aluminium.

Aw shame the grey isn't in the GB! Looked amazing in the renders!

[domoshi]

Is there an example of how the polycarb looks with underglow?

[noorejji]

Hi Jacky. Do you have any rough estimates on shipping rates on the standard version to the various regions? I.e. EU, CONUS, etc. Will you be shipping from UK?

jacky is based in Asia, so he's not shipping from the UK.

Oh, the location thing on his profile threw me off a bit there. If it's Asia shipping might not be too bad in any case. Thanks.

Case colors:

New coating: baby blue, pink, e-white
Anodizing: black, silver

Plate materials:  PC, brass, Aluminum.

Plate colors:     TBD

My dream for the black case with pink plate lives on! fingers crossed!

[JCraftCables]

That is such a nice board!

[jacky]

Updatd :7/10 2020. (Some thing need be more clear to each one )







For baby blue / pink color, we will try a brand new way of coating: skin-like coating (a.k.a. "new coating" that I mentioned in previous communication), which is different than regular coating (powder or cerakote). The finish of this "new coating" will be matte instead of glossy, and it will be really smooth (like skin) when you touch it. In addition, via this "new coating", we can achieve better consisitency for the color of top and bottom cases (if you choose the same color for top and bottom).

Disclaimer: The baby blue / pink color in the render is based on anodized aluminum, while the way we did in prototype and we will do in production for these two colors will NOT be traditional anodizing. Therefore, you will not expect to have the exact same baby blue / pink color as the render. If you are not sure about this "new coating" (only for baby blue / pink), you can always choose anodized silver, anodized black, e-white, and polycarbonate, which are awesome choices as well.

Thanks everyone ,later days my friend will send more photos to me ill post on the discord .

Didn't know there was a seam on this board.

Didn't know there was a seam on this board.

Wasn't shown in any of the renders, tho this breakdown kinda hints at it:

Hm, i dont really like the new baby blue coating. it looks like a plastic case imo. The baby blue anodized in the first renders was an absolute beauty, that would be absolutely perfect. probably going with silver now or PC.

I enjoy the final rendition more so, compared to the first one, but everything is preference!

Its a nice blue to some for sure, but I was looking for a more subtle blue, so the more silver-ish light / baby blue from the renders was perfect for me personally :) it might be better for others tho, who wanted a more "blue-ish" case :)

[tonyjones]

Wow that blue color is so neat, I'm in.

[Madrai]

Imagine doing google form FCFS and not limiting the amount per person *Looks at Primus*

[asianfork]

Just to confirm on the Discord announcements (don't want to ruin the flow of the conversation currently happening in the channel), the FCFS starts at 11am? The raffle or whatever is at 10am?

[hkhawk]

I think I saw Jacky say somewhere that a Bear was being sent to a streamer in the US to build. Any updates on that?
